British Museum

The British Museum is one of the largest museums in the world, comparable only to the Louvre in Paris and the Met in New York. Established around 1750, the British Museum originated with Sir Hans Sloane's 'Cabinet of Curiosities' which he donated ...

Guide was timely and very kind. Although he was knowledgeable about his area of expertise, the tour did not meet my expectations. He focused our time on the best known of the artifacts in the collection which are easily found and described without a tour guide. I was looking for a true "behind the scenes" experience with back-stories and tidbits of information not available to the general public. He was also specifically focused on ancient era artifacts as opposed to a true cross-section of the collection which would have been good to know before signing up for the tour.

Excellent tour for those with limited time. Everything ran to time without being rushed and the tour guide provided top class commentary befitting the amazing standard and array of exhibits. Highly recommended.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about all the areas he chose to highlight. His tour enlightened us about the historical context as well as the exhibit specifics. Excellent experience.

Our guide Trudy was wonderful! She not only had an extensive knowledge of historical artefacts and periods in time, but also had a great enthusiasm for it too! Really personable, friendly and we would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Tour very good. Directions where to meet poor. We ended up getting lost in Bloomsbury Square and then found the museum. We called. They directed us back down Montague Street back into Russel Square. Mistake. They should have just listened to me and let me meet guide at museum entrance which some people did anyway. We did not need the extra walking.

Great tour of British museum. We were able to see much more in 2 hours than we could have on our own. Our guide was very knowledgeable about everything in the museum to include adding historical context. More importantly, he was very enthusiastic. Highly recommend!

Rosa Maria (my guide) was amazing. I highly recommend this tour! Our time together went so fast. She was so knowledgeable and she catered the tour to my interests. While we saw popular items, she showed me things I would have missed in the museum. The Soane museum was so fascinating. We could have easily spent 5 hours on the tour!
